As a parent (or, for today’s purposes, as a pretend-parent), therefore, what vintage car–say, anything more than twenty-five years old–do you choose for your kid? It needs to be reasonably reliable, cost less than $10,000, and, if only to assuage Mom’s fears, offer the appearance of being passably safe.
Do you track down a clean mid-1980s Japanese car, such as an early Civic Si, or perhaps an A60 Supra? Do you feel more comfortable with a Volvo 240? Or do you dig deep into the automotive archives and opt for some American iron from the 1950s or early 1960s? Who knows, it may even help him or herget into college .
